JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The pictures crowd the shelves, cram the available open spaces and clutter up Urban Meyer’s windowless office in Jacksonville. It’s as if the memories and mementos from a lifetime of coaching have been crammed into a basement dorm room.
In college football, the world Meyer dominated and helped define for much of the last generation, the head coach’s office doubled as an ideal. It needed to sparkle for recruiting, as every picture was part of a pitch – family, winning and fun.
Those same images are jammed around Meyer’s new NFL office, but crowded together to give off the feel of a giant collage.
